Boosting work characteristics and overall heat-engine performance via shortcuts to adiabaticity: Quantum and classical systems
Under a general framework, shortcuts to adiabatic processes are shown to be possible in classical systems. We study the distribution function of the work done on a small system initially prepared at thermal equilibrium. We find that the work fluctuations can be significantly reduced via shortcuts to adiabatic processes. For …
